N95 8GB NAM Gets FCC Approval
Nokia leaked it, Nokia announced it, and now the FCC has given the Nokia N95 8GB NAM its official Don-like blessing. As our initial information dictated, it looks like the newest addition to the ever-growing N95 family is right on pace for a mid-February release. The chain of events might be a little odd considering the official announcement came prior to FCC approval. Maybe Nokia is just that confident when it comes to building handsets, or maybe it has to do with the fact that the latest N95 is a spitting image of its European sibling both inside and out. The oh-so-important difference of course being that the upcoming NAM version sports 850/1900 MHz HSDPA and is compatible with AT&T’s high-speed 3G and 3.5G networks. Cave dwellers somehow unaware of the N95 8GB’s specs will be pleased to learn that 8GB of internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera with Zeiss optics, 30 fps DVD-quality video recording, internal GPS and the kitchen sink are among its key features. Already available for pre-order on several sites, $750-$800 will get you into the party as soon as the guest of honor arrives. This is now the fourth version of the N95 (yes, N95-4) and if you include the renamed Japanese variant due out in April, that makes five. Hey, we set the over / under at seven back in December so the smart money is still on the over!
Wow. Five variants? That’s downright RAZResque… Way to milk it, Nokia.

This phone has lost it’s appeal to me. I want a device with it’s features but w/ a Qwerty KB. I really can’t see myself browsing on this thing using the number pad.

I love this phone and most N-series phones but the lack of full Qwerty or at least 20 key qwerty make me not get one. Nokia needs to address that need fast.

I would consider this if I wasn’t on sprint but I also have to consider getting rid of qwerty.

I was interested in this back at CES, but it’s lost its appeal in favor of the SE “Paris” P5i. Touchscreen and keyboard for the win.
